quotations about secrets
Secret heart
Why so mysterious?
Why so sacred, why so serious?
Maybe you're just acting tough
Maybe you're just not man enough
What's wrong?
Let her in on your secret, heart
RON SEXSMITH
"Secret Heart"
Secrets have a way of making themselves felt, even before you know there's a secret.
JEAN FERRIS
Once Upon a Marigold
Leave in concealment what has long been concealed.
SENECA
Oedipus
If you have hitherto conceal'd this sight,
Let it be tenable in your silence still.
And whatsoever else shall hap to-night,
Give it an understanding, but no tongue.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Hamlet
Keep your secrets; if you have rice hide it under your unhusked corn.
KADIR MUNSHI
attributed, Day's Collacon
In vain I send my soul into the dark, where never burn the lamps of science, nor the natural light of reason's sun and stars! I cannot learn their great and solemn meanings, nor discern the awful secrets of the eyes which turn evermore on us through the day and night with silent challenge and a dumb demand, proffering the riddles of the dead unknown, like the calm Sphinxes, with their eyes of stone.
